"To be honest, brother, I really thought you were the one who brought those people here that day." In the teahouse's private room, Lu Qing raised his glass, drank the wine in a gulp, and said proudly:
"But you've proven with your actions that you're trustworthy. Our transactions have been very smooth, and the fresh produce in our store has been delivered on time. It's fantastic."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of money and placed it on the table sincerely, saying, "This is your reward. I also wish us a happy and prosperous cooperation in the future!"
Chen Tinghan glanced at the money on the table. There was about 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. He feigned excitement and surprise and said, "This, this is too much, right? The delivery driver has already paid, so are these all mine?"
"Every cent is yours!" Lu Qing said proudly, "I can immediately come up with a large sum of money as start-up capital. We will set up a company and we will all be major shareholders."
Chen Tinghan pretended to be excited, but secretly showed disdain.
Lu Qing was attacked the night before yesterday. During the one day that passed, he was like a frightened bird, suspicious of everyone and refusing to see anyone. He even suspected that Wang Kai's men were sent by Chen Tinghan. It was not until yesterday that they remotely controlled the completion of the first batch of "transport orders" over the phone that he somewhat let down his guard and agreed to meet Chen Tinghan.
It can be said that he originally wanted to teach Chen Tinghan a lesson to see if he could force something out of him. However, when they met, he saw that both of Chen Tinghan's hands were in plaster and he broke out in cold sweats whenever he moved. Upon learning that Chen Tinghan was also a victim, he further let down his guard and only relied on verbal probing.
This was another Hongmen Banquet between them, and the location was still the teahouse. This time the jammer was fully powered, and the inside and outside could not communicate with each other. The number of bodyguards also increased from one to seven, controlling the throat positions including the stairs, toilets, and corridors, and all of them were equipped with cold weapons.
What Chen Tinghan prepared for him had already been laid out yesterday. Yesterday was their first collaboration. Five routes were set up and the packages arrived at three different places.
Chen Tinghan judged that since this was the first time they worked together, Lu Qing would definitely not trust him and would not really stuff the real stuff into these packages. He must first confirm that Chen Tinghan was not setting him up. Only in the second cooperation today would he try to stuff some real stuff in there that would be enough to put the final nail in the coffin.
So in order not to alert the suspect, the police deployed personnel but did not rashly investigate the contents of the package. They only waited until Chen Tinghan hooked him out before closing the net to see if they could catch a bigger fish.
Now, the fish are coming.
Lu Qing smiled and said, "By the way, I have someone I want to introduce to you later. He's a big boss in Wanghai and a big businessman. If we get along well, we can work together as a partnership."
